The Bonewagon formed in Paris in the year 2000, combining many influences to create a sophisticated blend of many different styles. The result contains flavours of English, Irish, and French folk music, fused with everything from blues and punk to ska and funk... ...Their music has a strength and depth that only such a blend of styles and musicians can produce. Moving from subtle to roaring power at a moments notice, always remains bright and festive. The Bonewagon will keep you dancing for hours and your feet tapping for days... ...Featuring singer and songwriter "non pareil" Charlie Seymour, whose robust vocal lines both inspire and feed the soul. His music draws on a lifetime of experience, travelling and living all over Europe, from small town Yorkshire to Paris or Amsterdam. Songs of hope and joy, anger and frustration, success and poverty, a keen eye for the world coupled with an unmatched lyrical sense...
...He is joined by four world class musicians, with musical backgrounds as diverse as their nationalities - fluid and sophisticated guitar work from Irishman Kevin Kretsch, English drummer Eric Ford brings a stunning sense of rythm and dynamics to the band, complemented perfectly by Parisian Olivier Sow on bass... ...On stage The Bonewagon display an endless energy and sense of humour that captures and entertains their audience. Regarded by many as the most original band on the Paris scene their fans cover an impressively wide range of ages and backgrounds. Appearances onstage at La Boule Noir, during the 2001 Festival Interceltique de Lorient, on TV Breizh, and RTL radio have spread the word to wider audience...
...The Bonewagon are a band you will want to see time and time again. How do you describe a band such as this? Perhaps based in rock yet relying on diverse influences, traditional and modern, for their unique appeal and sound. The quality and talent of The Bonewagon is beyond doubt. What remains to be seen is if they will be regarded as a hidden gem of the Paris scene or a great discovery of European music...
